Campaign promises glitter like leaves,
and while voters enjoy the fall colors,
they expect fruit as rewards, not beauty.

Winners might be patient, but losers
will cry “I told you so,” at any delay
in delivery on even forgotten pledges.

Before someone rakes his fallen foliage
into ugly piles, Obama needs to produce
a pruned “to do list,” with target dates.

Despite complaints of missing items,
we’ll judge Barack on his new agenda,
that’s easier than researching our own.
